Mattel Announces New Hot Wheels Unleashed Expansion

Back in September, Mike reviewed Hot Wheels Unleashed, which was Mattel and Milestone’s attempt to bring Hot Wheels nostalgia to consoles and PC. Now, the toy company, alongside the developer and publisher, has made a brand new announcement. Monster Trucks are coming to Hot Wheels Unleashed!

The Monster Truck expansion of Hot Wheels Unleashed will be available starting on April 21^st. Here is what the press release has to say about the expansion. “The Monster Trucks Expansion takes races to a monstrously large dimension with five new vehicles, a themed Track Builder Module, and themed customizations items for the Basement and the Player’s Profile. Plus, a brand-new environment where players can race and build amazing tracks: the Stop Motion Studio.

This brand-new environment has four monster dioramas to play in and unleashes the power of these 4-wheeled monsters: the Jungle, the Quarry, the Desert, and the Ice Mountain. The Monster Trucks Expansion is included in the HOT WHEELS Pass Vol. 2 and can be purchased separately from April 21, 2022.

The HOT WHEELS Pass Vol. 2 will also include nine vehicles, three Themed Customization Packs, and three Track Builder Modules and can be purchased beginning February 17, 2022. The HOT WHEELS Pass Vol. 2 is also included in Hot Wheels Unleashed Ultimate Stunt Edition, available on digital stores only, together with the HOT WHEELS™ Pass Vol. 1.”

Personally, I can remember my grandfather bringing home new monster trucks as they came out from various Hot Wheels sets. I think this expansion along with the other content in the various Hot Wheels passes, will bring lots of nostalgia to players. There’s a lot of content coming to Hot Wheels Unleashed this year, so if you are a fan, stay tuned!
